IMOD Research

The long-term research vision of the IMOD team is to enable the synthesis and integration of Quantum Dot (QD) and Quantum Well (QW) structures into new materials and devices.

IMOD Research is organized around three complementary and integrated Research Themes, across which researchers can work together to address the interdisciplinary challenges associated with the IMOD vision.

The mission of this Research Theme is to advance the science of synthesis, while simultaneously generating best-in-class materials for integration and application in classical (RT2) and quantum (RT3) light technologies. 

This Research Thrust will address the integration of these nanomaterials with metals, insulators, and other semiconductors, and placking them precisely in their environment to generate materials with collective emergent functionality.

This Research Thrust will address the need to engineer the optical environment in ways that are compatible with colloidal materials, while acheiving a fundamental understanding of their potential and limitations, in quantum-information science applications.
